Arizona State returns essentially six veteran offensive line starters -- the five players who were first-teamers for the final five games of last season, and Zach Krula, who was a mainstay at right guard before going down with a severe ankle injury in 2005. Together, they could be the best and most talented offensive line the Sun Devils have had in years.

Last year, seniors Stephen Berg and Andrew Carnahan were opening game starters at right guard and right tackle respectively, but both suffered torn knee ligaments that ended their seasons.
